India vs England 3rd Test: Injury scare for India, after Rishabh Pant, another star leaves field midway during Lord's Test

India's pace attack led by Jasprit Bumrah has suffered a worrying momentary blow in the second session on Day 4 of the third Test match against England at Lord's Stadium in London. Fast bowler Akash Deep limped off the field after delivering just three overs post-lunch.

The 28-year-old star, who picked up Harry Brook's wicket, looked visibly uncomfortable after his short spell in the second innings. After bowling his third over in the afternoon session, Akash Deep can be seen struggling while walking towards the boundary, holding what appeared to be his groin or side. After that, he sat down beside the ropes while being attended by a physio. After that, he walked up the stairs toward the dressing room with a clear limp, sparking concerns over a possible strain.

“Akash Deep, who was with the physio on the boundary, holding his side or hip, groin as well. Walking gingerly up there on the stairs,” said Michael Atherton on-air, confirming the discomfort.

On Day 1, India’s vice-captain Rishabh Pant injured his finger while wicketkeeping, as he tried to stop a delivery from pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah.

Coming back to the third Test, India spinner Washington Sundar picked up two crucial wickets in the second session to leave England at 175 for 6 at tea on the fourth day at Lord's. Washington picked up Joe Root (40) to break England's 67-run stand for the fifth wicket with skipper Ben Stokes and then rattled the off stump of Jamie Smith (5) in the 47th over. At the break, Stokes was batting on 27 with Chris Woakes on 8 at the other end.

In the morning session, Mohammed Siraj struck twice while Akash Deep and Nitish Kumar Reddy took a wicket each as England reached 98 for 4 at lunch.

The ongoing five-Test match series between India and England is currently tied 1-1 after the Shubman Gill-led side's dominating 336-run win in the second clash at Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham.
